Day 1 of camp today was really fun. Everyone else is supposed to be sleeping there now, but it's a known fact they aren't. First day is always like this, but the sleepiness increases linearly with the number of days. that means by Wednesday, everyone will be dead tired, not to mention night games till 12am+++. Last time's lasted till 3am and I stayed up with some others to play cards till morning.

After church, had to print some stuff in the office with Jacky, then ate a quick lunch. Then, loaded in the keyboard, projector and all the other stuff into the car and church van. We reached earlier than the check in time and went to explore the old Changi hospital. It was quite run down and the the comm ppl who receed the place didn't dare to enter. So we went in as a rather large group and scared all the ghosts away. There was graffiti on the walls and some anti-christ symbols, which increased the scariness level. I tried to find the mortuary, but the place was really run down. There were stuff all over the floor, bats inside, broken glass windows and scary grafitti on the walls. Anyway, this is evidence that I survived the adventure.

Jacky is the camp chief, me - vice, andrew and jasmine - programmes and time keeper, rui quan and yuxin - logistics. And rui quan is in charge of food too, which is a bit risky.. especially if there is prawn or crab.. Theme this year is Be still. Taken from Psalms, the one about being still, and knowing that God is God. Theme song was quite easy to decide - Still. Happened to see that in Ck's blog not long ago. Supposed to be chinese based, but had no choice but to choose English because the words are more meaningful.

The night games was the highlight of today. Fruit captains ball. At night. So we could hardly see the bits of food flying around. We played captains ball with everything else except a ball. First level was papaya. It survived about three crash landings on the ground before splitting up and sending bits of flesh and juice squirting everywhere. Whenever I wanted to clap, papaya juice would start spraying into my face. And if you happened to miss the papaya bit being flung around, your shirt would kenna the papaya. We played until there was hardly and throwable piece of papaya bit left before renewing papaya. After another round of level one, we moved on to cabbage. This one has better because it wasn't juicy. We played through all the layers of the cabbage. The wonderful thing - it can bounce a bit. There was less mess and so the game finally went back to a near normal roughness. Next level, orange. Great first few throws. When it started cracking up, there was a nice aromatic orange fragrance. Then when it finally got thrown to its death, we ended up showering each other with orange juice. Next, we had mango. It was really sticky, but it meant better grip. Similar to the papaya, but i think it ended it's life after someone threw the last bit into a drain. Then, we had eggs. That was probably the hardest level. We wrapped the egg in a plastic bag thing, then poked holes for the insides to squirt out. It died very very fast. Shorter life span and it was quite disgusting to hold. After the captains fruit game, everyone was covered in some sort of salad mess.

Then, we played water bomb using the small bags (the types with strings at the top). The game hadn't even officially started and people were already sparking off water wars. The water bomb game helped to rinse everyone, including the ground. I hope there isn't an ant invasion tomorrow. Everyone was very drenched but they could go take a shower. on the other hand, Jean and I didn't bother bringing a towel and had to sit in our parents' car later. So we just rinsed our self, walked around a bit and then changed. My mom didn't even notice anything was amiss when we entered the car. Thankfully, she didn't see us throwing eggs at each other, or else I would have died and would have had to walk all the way home.

Tomorrow, Chinese intensive till 12. Then grandparents will pick me up to send me to camp. Think they'll be in the middle of the very amazing race. Then, come home again after the activities. Sigh.. I am the vice camp chief but MIA.
